NEW JERSEY, ASSIG-NOR TO MAGZINE REIEATINGl RAZOR COMPANY, A COBIORATIONOF NEVI JERSEY SHAVING EQUIPMENT Application filed October 8, 1926.Serial No. 140,408.

This invention relates toa shaving equipment that includes a casing anda magazine containing thin blades in stacked relation, a means in thecasing for successively ejecting the blades, and also comprises a razorwhich is carried in the casing when not in use but which is vseated witha` part thereof guided by the casing when a blade is to be transferredby the reciprocation of the ejecting means, which has apart thereofextended to the outside of the casing so that it can be manipulated. j

The object of the invention is to provide a neat compact razor case witha feeding means for the blades and is intended mainly for theconvenience of those'who prefer a razor of the old-fashioned type withthe handle pivoted at one end to the shank .of the blade, but in thiscase the blade proper is a thin blade that is replaced by a sharp onewhen dulled. This replacement is quickly and easily accomplished as therazor is held against the casing and the ejected means is operatedtoward the razor which acts as a stop or abutment for the casing and theblade is thus inserted. This enables the use ofthe device by a person asonehand holds the razor and the other hand pushes on the blade ejectingmeans and as the parts abut the supply of a blade to the razor isaccomplished by one motion. Y v

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in whichFigure l is a perspective view of a'razor without a blade of` the razortype inserted therein and Figure 2 is a perspective view, on a reducedscale, of the casing and showing the end of the razor with a bladeinserted. Figure 3 is a central longitudinal section of the casing shownin Figure 2 showing the razor folded and placed in a chamber in thecasing. Figure 4 is a section taken on line 4-4in Figure 3. Figure 5 isa section taken on line 5-5 in Figure 6 and Figure 6 is a section takenon line 6-6 in Figure 5. Figure 7 is holder or casing. Figure 8 has oneend of the casing showing a modified form of end maderof a .solid -blockinstead 50 of `lfreing formed of sheet metal. Figure 9'v is a top viewof the a section at t a reduced perspective of the block shown insection in Figure 8.

The razor is preferably of the old fashioned type comprising a shank 10and a handle 11 pivoted to the shank, being formed in the same generalshape as a conventional razor except that it is provided with a slit 12to receive a blade endwise, the slit preferably extending from end toend of this part of the razor. supplied with blades from the casing 13which is provided with a partition 14 above which is thechamber 15 toreceive a razor when it is folded, the chamber being closed by a lid 16.On the bottom of the lcasing is a plate 17 which forms a swinging bottomas it is hinged as-at 18 and :is heldclosed by any- 'usual snap or'spring fastening 19."?-:I`he late 17 'is provided with supports 20which orm a holder` for a clip 21 which contains a stack 22 of separatethin blades, the clip 21 being supplied with the user so that the clipand the blades are inserted as a unit. The clip is held against eX- cessupward movement by a shoulder 23 on the support. tom and the spring 24is fastened to the plate and acts topre'ss the blades in the stack upagainst the partition 14 and in this position the top blade is in linewith a slit 25 in the end of the casing through which the topblade canbe ejected. j 4

For ejecting the blades successfully I insert a slide 26 which canbereciprocated by a partthereofwhi hextends to the outside of the casingand I illustrate such outside handle at 27, his being arrangedin a slide28 which is usually also used as a stop, the end 29 of which is arrangedat this point so that when the edge 30. of the slide engages the end 29of the slot, the forward end 31 of the slide has reached the end of therazor which is held in place to receive the blade.

In order to properly 'align or position the razor to receive a blade Iarrange a guide in the form of a recess 32 which is shaped to fit therazor so that when the razor is seated The razoriis carried 1n and alsoblades as purchased by the y Thevclip 21 is opened at the botv with itsend in this recess theslit 12 in the v razor is in line with the slit 25in the casing. It will be evldent that when a razor is held it ispressed firmly toward the casing with one hand and the handle 27 isgrasped by the other hand and slid toward the razor and the blade fromthe stack is thus positively and firmly slid from the stack of bladesinto the razor and at the same time this inserted blade has pushed theold blade ahead of it and from the razor.

The modification shown in Figures 8 and 9 comprises, instead of a sheetmetal end, a solid end in the form of a block 33 into which end therecess 32 is made for positioning the razor, the outside or sheet metalpart of the casing being secured to this block 83 in any desired way.

I claim:

1. In razor equipment for transfer of razor blades, a razor blademagazine having an exit aperture, transfer means, 1n comblnation with a.razor head, said head having a blade holding channel, cooperating meanson said magazine and on said head, whereby either said magazine or saidhead may be guided bodily into longitudinal alignment and maintained insuch alignment during the transfer of a blade from the magazine to therazor head.

2. A shaving equipment for transfer of razor blades comprising a case tohold a stack of blades and having an exit aperture, means fortransferring a blade from the stack, the case having a recess to receivethe end of a razor, in combination with a razor head to enter saidrecess to act as an abutment for the case to hold the case againstmovement When the transfer means is operated, said razor having ablade-holding channel.

3. In a razor equipment for transfer of razor blades, a razor blademagazine, transfer means, in combination with a razor head, said headhaving a bla-de holding channel and co-operating means on said magazineand on said head whereby said head can be guided bodily into alignmentwith the path of travel of the blade during a transfer of the blade fromthe magazine, said razor being adapted for shaving purposes only whenseparated from the magazine.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature.

JACOB SCHICK.
